A ROAMANTIC STORY.
The following rather romantic story —perfectly true one, by the way—is groins' the round, says Miss Beatrice Noel Yanborough in Tarns Before one of our most popular and handsome young Duchesses married, and before she even knew her future: husband; she one day had her fortune told at some races by a gipsy. The woman promised her, oddly enough, marriage with a duke, three years of unalloyed bliss and theni a year of misery. Curiously enough, part of the gipsy words have come true. The Duke appeared, saw, and conquered, marriage followed and then two happy years. So far good. But the first part of the prophecy having come true, the young Duchess believes the whole must be realised, and as the time of woe draws nigh the fear preys upon | her mind to such an extent that she | cannot shake off the dread, and has become nervously indisposed. It is to be hoped that the Duke, who is most tenderly devoted to her, will be able to find some charm against the fatal I prophecy, or the Duchess’ nervous ; anxiety may end in unhappily realising its fulfilment in her own serious illness. Some true friends should point out to her that in this case she herself will bo responsible if it should come true.
